So after some long phone calls i have pulled the trigger on a new prop for my MCX powered 08 X-Star.

People have gone back and forth on 4 blade vs 5 blade.

Based on my needs for good all around performance and need for some loaded up sessions i decided to go with the new ACME 2271 15" x 15.75 4blade prop with a 105 cup.

I am told the performance will be better than my 14.5 x14.75 prop currently.

Anyone give this prop a shot yet?

Interesting, but have you run with this prop as yet, as Im looking at options for my X2. Im curious cos this ACME prop you purchased the pitch is larger, will affect out of the hole but by how much...keen to hear your results

Did you like this prop on you MCX X-star. Thinking about trying it out too. The 2271 is a 15 x 15.75 and I am running the 14.75 x 15.5 The hole shot is good but would like a little more top end. Worried that bumping up the diameter might hurt but its only 1/4" and only changing a 0.5 pitch.

Our new WAKEPRO V -3 series props are quicker and faster than the XMP line. For 5.7 I would suggest our 805, 14.75 X 15.25 or 812, 14.75 X 15.75. The 812 will be a bit faster than the 805 but not have as good of low end with stock ballast.
